15:43 | AP over A. The Festival is ended. Today we had no races due the lack of wind. so the score stays as it was. The new worldchampions.............. Master: Martin Ervin and Youth: Jules Denel.
13:44 | another day like yesterday- the youth were called to the water , but the race was postponed before the start as the wind dropped below the minimum required.
“We inform all competitors that 2009 Italian Open FW Championships, postponed last May after the tragical death of Davide Beverino, have been rescheduled and will be raced from Thursday October 29th to Sunday November 1st always at Windsurfing Club Cagliari, Sardinia. In the next weeks the relevant Notice of Race. Since now you are all invited to join this event and we hope many foreign competitors will travel to Cagliari end October.”
Best regards,
Marco Rossi
18:08 | AP over A - no more racing today. The thermic breeze is dying. Tghere will be some anxious sailors tonight , particularly in the youth fleet where only one point seperates first and third.
The forecast is not great for tomorrow , although the locals claim the thermic breeze could easily double the predicted windspeed.
22:09 | sorry for the lack of report on last race of masters - but martin is having a fantastic regatta !
full results are now posted. Tomorrow is a rest day - which is good , as tonight there is a party, BBQ and live band at the beach !
With plenty for the competitors to see and do in cadiz - tomorrow will still be a busy day.
Racing will resume on friday with so much still to be decided in all fleets
